ston Martin will return to the ADAC Zurich 24-Hour race, staged on the world famous Nürburgring Nordschleife (May 10-13), with a two-car entry featuring all six of its 2018/19 FIA World Endurance Championship factory GTE Pro drivers.

Aston Martin celebrated ten years of competing at the world-famous Nürburgring this weekend (16/17 May) and, in fitting tribute, the #49 Vantage N430, donning the same livery as the brand’s debut entry in 2006, crossed the line in first place in the SP8 class.

Aston Martin has finished fifth overall in the 2014 Nürburgring 24 Hours, in its #007 V12 Vantage GT3 and has taken three class podiums with its close-to-production V12 Vantage and pair of V8 Vantage N430s.

With just four hours of Nürburgring 24 Hours remaining, Aston Martin’s four Vantages are still going strong. The #007 V12 Vantage GT3 continues in sixth place overall and all three of the close-to-production road cars are in line for podium finishes.

At the halfway mark of the 2014 Nürburgring 24 Hours, Aston Martin Racing’s #007 Vantage GT3 is in eighth place and the three Aston Martin-entered race-prepared production cars are all in podium positions.

After four hours of action-packed racing at the 2014 Nürburgring 24 Hours, two of the four Aston Martin Vantages are in podium positions in their class – the #55 V12 Vantage is in second place in SP8 and the #100 Vantage N430 is in third place in SP10.

Aston Martin Racing’s V12 Vantage GT3 will start the 2014 ADAC Zurich Nürburgring 24 Hours from ninth place on the 169-strong grid, following an exciting top 30 qualifying shoot-out that saw works driver Stefan Mücke (DE) complete two flying laps of the 25-km long Nordschleife circuit.
